UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA

Workshops, Classes & Other Activities

The Office of Instructional Support hosts a number of activities every semester. These activities include: classes, workshops and project work sessions. In addition, individuals or small groups of students, faculty and staff members can request training with an Instructional Support trainer. Sessions for larger events, such as the University's annual Blackboard Institute, are also sponsored by Instructional Support.

Individual or Small Group Training Sessions

Requests for group training sessions are submitted through the online Instructional Support Request Form. Choose the "Requesting Assistance" option on the form and describe the interest or need. An Instructional Support trainer will meet with you and design a training session to fulfill the request.

Instructors often schedule an Instructional Support trainer to demonstrate specific technology that is needed for an assignment during class time. The trainer will schedule a time to meet wit the instructor prior to the demonstration to review the assignment. The instructor submits the online Instructional Support Request Form to request this assistance.

Students who need further assistance with technology assignments can set up an appointment with a trainer by submitting the online Instructional Support Request Form.

Classes Using Technology

Many events scheduled in the Training Center are for classes that use technology. Others are regularly-scheduled classes that meet in the current semester.

The goal of the group meetings are for participants to share concerns, expertise and experiences.
